take an aspirin a day..if its really heart attack...aspirin will help against coagulation(inhibit platelet aggregation)..if u have any GIT problems..do not use aspirin..take an alternative drug for it...and consult ur physician.
Hello.welcome.In modern times one can get a heart attack at your age.Instead of getting panicky you must visit a cardiologist for the proper evaluation.good luck.
